News from ESSEC USA Community

Newsmakers Panel: A real Essec community event

April 30th is on your calendar. You don't want to miss the annual Essec Event in New York. This evening is the opportunity to gather the whole Essec community: 

- The Event Team gathers Alumni from different programs (Essec MBA Alumni and students, IMHI, former exchange student). - The organization is supported by the Essec Group, with a special mention on the Website front-page, www.essec.com. Pierre Tapie, Dean of the school and Alain Lempereur, Associate professor, will be among us on that day.

- The whole Alumni community is relaying the information, through the MDE Newsletter (received by registered Essec Alumni), but also the front-page of the www.essecnet.com website. Our prestigious panelists will receive the "Medaille des anciens" award.

- The Students are associate to that event, with a special registration price of $30 offered only to them. This event will be an excellent opportunity for approaching the US Market for jobs, VIE or internship. A Student Task force, headed by Adeline Aleyat-Dupuis, is now in place in Cergy to get the best from that event.
